Dena - Congratulations on your finish of Christmas Parade; it is adorable! It's always good to see Donna; her Hawk Run Hollow finish looks fabulous. Happy stitching and safe travels! - TaMara
It was so good to see your friend Donna. Please congratulate her from me on her finishing Hawk Run Hollow. I love your 2025 plans. Have a fabulous trip.
Thank you, I will I am sure! My friend Donna is coming up to visit tomorrow and stitch as we won't see each other until December after that. I hope you are handling taking care of your mom well and that you are taking care of yourself as well. Dena
Diane, we don't come near the beautiful changes you make, but Donna does a lot more than I do for sure. I shared with Donna your planned changes in your current project and she loved your ideas. Dena
Great video Dena. So good to see Donna and all her beautiful stitching too. I just love how you and Tommy chat to Cocoa - we do the same with our dogs and cats. What a fabulous Santa. Our house is fully decorated or Christmatized. Thanks for sharing everything. Have a safe trip and happy stitching.
Susan, I do need to film my Christmas now that I have it up and ready. I am so glad you are enjoying your Christmas decor already. Yes, we chat with Cocoa so much that when Tommy is actually talking to me he has to call my name so I won't think he is talking to Cocoa. LOL. Dena
Farm and christmas parade are both so beautiful. Have a great trip and its never to early to put the christmas tree up. Happy stitching and a great weekend.
Hi Dena. Love Christmas parade! It’s adorable! Always happy to see Donna and sending congrats to her for her amazing finishes. Also love the fabric you are using on Stephanie’s gift. And I can’t not end with Cocoa and Santa. Love that fur baby. Happy turkey day and safe travels and have a wonderful vacation.
Thanks so very much for the love for Christmas Parade. I will pass along the congrats to Donna for sure. Appreciate the Thanksgiving wishes. The trip is getting close and we are so excited! Dena
So many pretty things! Loved Donna's Hawk Run Hollow and the personalization she added to it is priceless. Happy and safe travels! Can't wait to hear about the trip and see what all you accomplished with your stitching! Chat again soon!
Karla, we are home! Got to Atlanta, then took the Marta train to our parked car about 45 minutes from our home. (Train helps us skip all the Atlanta traffic). We stopped in a Carrabbas for a meal and now we are unpacking and reviewing calendars, etc. Hope you are well and enjoying your stitching. Dena
I so look forward to your weekly recaps… congratulations on your Christmas Parade finish. The pattern reminds me so much of some of Teresa Kogut’s holiday designs, and I do love everything Teresa Kogut… I recently finished her Struttin’ pattern and am working towards a finish on Cottage Bouquet from her Hello Spring booklet. It was wonderful to see Donna again and her beautiful finishes. Enjoy your trip, and safe travels.
Norma, thanks so much for sharing my visit with Donna and for the lovely compliments on my finish of Christmas Parade. I am delighted to have it finished and am having a hard time deciding how I want to fully finish it. It will come to me. Happy Stitching. Dena
Love seeing Dena and Donna film together ❤. Donna, you have very impressive goals for next year. I'm making my goals and plans for next year. I plan on going to 2 retreats. I'm not doing WIPGO in 2025. I don't intend on buying any stash unless specifically needed for a project like a floss or something like that. I'm doing a LOT of SALs. I want to finish Pandemic, which several people in my local stitching group started this past January. I hope that you have wonderful and safe travels Dena. Can't wait to see you ladies again in September 😊
Christine, can't wait to see you again at Stitching in the Wild! Good luck on finishing Pandemic and on all your goals for 2025! Donna wants to do a stitch from stash year as well. Dena
Vicki, thanks so much for the kind words regarding my video and my colors. Hope you are enjoying your stitching before the holidays become too hurried and busy. Dena
Dena...delightful visit with you and Donna...thanks for sharing your stitching and plans...congratulations on both of your finishes...and Santa was a big hit with Cocoa...Happy Thanksgiving and best wishes for your trip❤
Thank you so much! Donna and I always have fun and get each other in trouble with our stitching planning. LOL. Cocoa has been ignoring Santa ever since we put him up so I guess that is fine. Dena
Hi Dena and Donna loved seeing your finishes. Donna you did a beautiful job on your finishes they are absolutely beautiful. I always love hearing from both of you on your starts for 2025. Dena I am behind on my 3 months to a finish but I am still working on them. December is going to be a very busy month for me but I will do my best but I have a lot of patterns that I need to be kitted so that is taking a lot of my time so if I don't finish all my 6 projects I will not be disappointed and will work them into next year. I hope you won't be disappointed if I do not complete them. I have been so busy. I always enjoy seeing Donna on your channel she is so fun to watch and hope to see her again in more of your video's. I LOL seeing Cocoa get excited about what was in the box. She thinks it was for her because she was so curious. I absolutely loved it!!! Wishing you and Tommy and JT and Cocoa and Donna and her family a Happy Thanksgiving and a safe holiday. In the meantime Happy Stitching and be safe and kind. God bless Pat
Pat, you know I will not be disappointed if you don't finish all your 3 months to the finish line projects. It is a motivator, but it is not punitive. No shame here. Like you said, you can work the ones you don't finish into next year's stitching. OOOOOh, I like the sound of you kitting up so much for 2025. Can't wait to see what you are planning. Dena
Christmas Parade is so cute! I must get mine out in December and work on it. It was great to see Donna. Congrats to her on the BIG finish! I love her personalization. And, the other finishes are just so beautiful. Cocoa with Santa was too cute. Sounds like you are all ready for your trip. Happy Thanksgiving to you guys. ❤
Judy, we are just about completely ready. We have been busy making sure all bills are paid and we have all the clothes and stitching ready to pack. Cocoa will go to Fred's on Monday so we have this weekend with her and then we will start missing her immediately. LOL. Dena
Hey Dena and Donna!!! So good to see you both. I will be starting the stockings as they will be the table numbers for Faith’s wedding next December. Family commitments will keep us away from Stitching in the Wild. Weddings galore! I hope I can share my stocking with you. Happy Thanksgiving!!!!!
Sheila, I hope you will share your stockings with me! You will need to finish your sooner than I will since you are using them as the table numbers for the wedding in December. But I plan on stitching one a month so I won't be too far behind you I hope. Dena
I was waiting for some music or movement from Santa. We have a Santa at work that you push a button and he wiggles and makes music. Cocoa would have jumped. Glad you got Santa Parade done.
This Santa is still and quiet, just watching everyone. LOL. Cocoa has quickly adjusted to him being in the front lobby area. She ignores him pretty much. Dena
Great video Dena I’m trying to finish this video before I need to get ready to go to a Pt appt. Cutting it close 😂I’d love to just sit here and stitch and watch videos but later I guess. Take care and Enjoy.....
MaryJo, so glad you could squeeze me in before your PT appointment. Donna is coming back over tomorrow to pick up some framing and to stitch with me. I am looking forward to it. Hope you are getting lots of stitching time before the holidays hit. Dena
Dena, loved visiting with you and Donna and seeing all the finishes! Always love the “Coco” segments! Where did your husband find that Santa, I just love it!
Charlotte, my hubby saw it in our neighbors yard two years ago when she was having a moving sale. So he purchased it for a whopping $15.00. It is so cute. We usually have it outside on our front porch, but since we will be gone for several days, Santa is inside until we get back home. Happy Stitching! Dena
YAY!!!!!! Donna's here for a visit!!!!!!! So good to see her whenever she's over for a visit!!!!! 🙂
Thanks so much Gin. I always love it when Donna agrees to film with me. We have so much fun. Dena
Thank you Dena for a wonderful video. It was good to see Donna again. Enjoyed seeing your stitching. Have a blessed holiday. ❤ Safe travels.
Thanks Linda for stopping by to visit! I will make sure Donna checks out the comments so she can see all the love she is receiving. Dena

I agree with Donna on Christmas decorating. I am not home for Christmas so have minimal decorations. I love her Hawk Run.
Thanks MaryLee, I will pass along your love for Hawk Run to Donna. Dena
